Game had too much color, needed moar brown.

That kind of sucks. I was hoping that they would take what they learned from the first and make an awesome sequel, but who knows. Maybe what they shown looked horrible, maybe they got screwed. Either way I hope the resources go towards a new IP instead of an existing one.

That's old thinking. "

hi you seem to have confused EA with Activision. "

Sad, the first game was really different, and fun. It had a lot of potential. 

Production of a great and genuinely unique franchise halted to make way for more shooters. Yay.

This blows. I bought the game about a year after launch for like 30 dollars and really loved the game mechanics when they were executed. The combat was terrible, but I loved the art aesthetics and music. It had some great ideas and I wish they were making another one.

Looks like someone might need to just go around EA and rip it off wholesale, Gameloft-style, if we ever want to see anything like it again. 
 
On second thought, you know what would be awesome?  A whole bunch of timed levels and obstacle courses that you could play online with your friends, with online multiplayer leaderboards and dlc courses, all downloadable from XBLA and PSN.  They should make that.  In fact, they could probably get away with just cutting out parts of the old game and releasing it.  I don't even care if they cut out the story entirely.

I've wanted Mirror's Edge since the day it came out..and I still haven't gotten it. I'm all talk...

FUCK YOU EA! Damn man, Mirrors Edge was one of the most unique and interesting games I've ever played. I loved the visual style, it was just so pretty and the music got me into Solarfields.  
 
So again, FUCK YOU EA! 

The game wasn't that good, this does not surprise at all.

Good.

Too bad, but honestly I think people put Mirror's Edge on a bit too high of a pedestal.  It came out as an original IP during the year when EA finally got some recognition for doing so with multiple titles but in all honesty it was just ok.  

Kind of a shame but not really that bothered. Would have been interesting to see but that's business.

That should be their slogan:

That's sucks, but it's not that necessary.

Couldn't agree more.  Tried the MP for about 20 minutes and it sucked, i mean it was refreshing that they tried to do a different take on it but still it fell way short.   Now the single player is awesome!!  "

Isn't Dead Space 2 selling well?  If anything, this will push them to do more multiplayer stuff. "

Too bad. Mirror's Edge 1 was actually pretty good.

A bummer indeed. Mirror's Edge had a ton of charm, there's nothing really like it.

" Well you know...If DICE had put the game through proper QA then a lot of issues would have been resolved. Mirror's Edge was a nice refreshing new IP that had charm but was plagued with some really odd design choices. As far as I'm concern EA is in the right.   And again EA seems to think that MP=Longevity. That's ok Dead Space 2 is going to teach them a harsh lesson why MP  doesn't need to be in every freaking game.  "

Why wouldn't they? Battlefield 2 was one of their best selling games and people are still playing it. "

In FPS maybe. Only good MP adds longevity. Go look at the numbers and see which MP are being played on xbl and psn. Not every game needs MP. As proven by the first game which still has a strong community with no MP. "

i really reaally wanted them to pull an assassin creed with this game, take all the potential from the first game and make it amazing in the sequel.

I am actually in tears at this. It looks nothing like the SSX I knew. Stripping the series' heart and soul out is definitely a good move, right?  I'm almost inclined to say that it'd be worse than SSX Blur, but I'm going to reserve my judgment until reviews come out. "

Well this really sucks. Games like Mirror's Edge and Prototype deserve to get a sequel more than another Halo game. Yes i love my sequels and I'm not saying they should stop making Uncharted games or anything. But the games are so full of potential and with a second chance you could really make a classic, But sadly it's an industry and Publishers don't like to take big risks with their money usually.

" http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-14-report-ea-rejects-mirrors-edge-2-pitch      Kind of a bummer. Mirror's Edge had some great potential. Some improvements with the combat and it would've been fantastic. Oh well, at least they're not completely abandoning it, which gives some hope.  Also, couldn't come up with a better title. Lazy. "

I never got around to finishing the first game but I thought it was pretty good. That dude's reasoning for rejecting it is utter shit. "No multiplayer", really?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 
 
Worst news ever. I was really looking forward to the inevitable sequel that apparently wasn't so inevitable. 
 
God damn it, great start to my day.

damn i really liked the first mirrors edge.
